 Viper requires minimal configuration so it knows where to look for config files.
 Viper supports JSON, TOML and YAML files. Viper can search multiple paths, but
 currently a single Viper instance only supports a single configuration file.
+Viper does not default to any configuration search paths leaving defaults decision
+to an application.
 
 ```go
 viper.SetConfigName("config") // name of config file (without extension)
 viper.AddConfigPath("/etc/appname/")   // path to look for the config file in
 viper.AddConfigPath("$HOME/.appname")  // call multiple times to add many search paths
+viper.AddConfigPath(".")               // optionally look for config in the working directory
 err := viper.ReadInConfig() // Find and read the config file
 if err != nil { // Handle errors reading the config file
 	panic(fmt.Errorf("Fatal error config file: %s \n", err))
